Kale University: Schoolin’ You on the Benefits of Our Fave Veggie

Seriously tho, we can’t get enough. We’re either blending it in our smoothies, mixing it in a salad, or whippin’ up some kale chips for a snack. Kale all day errrday ;) It’s such a staple in the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan!

You know we’re all about the Lean, Clean, ‘N Green life because it gives you a glowing complexion, high energy levels, shiny hair, and strong lean muscles. With kale on the menu, you get all those perks and MORE! But first, let’s get into why it’s so amazing. Only downside: We usually have a little kale in our teeth ;)

Forms lean muscles

There are 9 essential amino acids that your body can’t produce and needs to get from your diet in order to sculpt lean beautiful muscles. These amino acids are typically found in animal-based foods, but guess what? Kale actually contains ALL 9 of those essential amino acids! (psst… if you’re looking for other plant-based ways to get all 9, our Tone It Up Protein has ’em too! Plus it’s clean, non-GMO, gluten-free, & delicious)

Strengthens your bones

Calcium is super important for keeping your bones strong and your heart healthy. In some veggies, calcium can be kinda difficult for your body to absorb. Kale has a remarkably high absorption rate, which means your bod can get a lot of calcium out of each little leaf!

Keeps your complexion glowing

Vitamin A keeps your skin bright, and just 1 cup of kale has almost double what you need in a day. Bonus ~ kale is also packed with vitamin C, which helps create the beautifying compound collagen.

Protects your heart

Kale contains compounds that help remove cholesterol from your blood stream and lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. It also contains two powerful antioxidants, called quercetin and kaempferol, which can lower your blood pressure and keep your heart healthy. We ❤️ kale!

BONUS TIU TIP ~

Massage your kale with a little olive oil and lemon juice. This makes it even tastier and easier to digest. Another pro tip: Chop your kale with kitchen shears!

Enjoy babe!!
